In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 3 There are immortals on the mountain! There are immortals on the mountain!
Qihuang Mountain is a dangerous place that villagers at the foot of the mountain avoid at all costs.

I've heard that there are monsters, ferocious beasts, and man-eating mountain monsters inside, and all those who have gone up the mountain in the past have disappeared without a trace.

He might never return, but what if he actually manages to find a water source?
Disappointingly, Qihuang Mountain was lifeless, without even a blade of grass.

Undeterred, Zhang Gousheng continued to venture deeper, but after two hours, he still found nothing.

His expectations were all dashed, and he could only resign himself to peel some bark and head out of the forest.

He didn't encounter any ferocious beasts along the way; it seems the beasts were also killed by the scorching sun.

Pass--

Rumble~
Suddenly, the earth shook violently!

Zhang Gousheng looked around in horror.

The ground... the ground shook!

The thought struck him, and he started running frantically, losing a lot of the bark he was carrying.

His mother and sister were still at home; he had to rush home immediately.

Bump-bump-

The earth-shaking commotion grew increasingly severe.

Zhang Gousheng was knocked to the ground by the shaking.

"This...what is this?"

Suddenly, he saw a jade pillar. The jade pillar was smooth and exquisite, and it also emitted a snow-white luster. It was so beautiful.

Could it be the Heavenly Pillar leading to the Heavenly Gate?
He was completely confused.

Suddenly his eyes widened. Wait, it's moving!

A cloud of dust rose, and the earth-shattering tremors stopped. He was worried about his mother and sister at home, so he carried the tree bark away.

After a long while, he couldn't help but look behind him in the direction where he had discovered the jade pillar, and what he saw there stunned him.

In the distance, there is a giant woman.

The jade pillar he just saw was her ankle!
Is it a monster? Or a deity?

His heart was pounding.

He rubbed his eyes. Was it a hallucination? Was he too hungry? Too thirsty?
However, upon closer inspection, it was indeed true!
She was a woman with snow-white skin and a towering figure, dressed in clothes of an unknown material, and she walked gently into the distance.

Suddenly she stopped, transformed into a beam of light, and flew away.

Soon after, a divine palace appeared out of thin air, its top radiating golden light!

Upon closer inspection, it was found to be embedded in the highest mountain wall, with streaks of nine-colored light appearing around the wall, creating a magnificent and spectacular sight.

miracle!

"God... God!"

Zhang Gousheng was stunned! He quickly ran down the mountain, intending to tell everyone about it.

If there are gods, will they be saved?
In Peach Blossom Village, large groups of people were walking around shouting.

"The dog left behind!"

"Gou Sheng!"

Where did this child go?

"Village chief, I heard someone saw this child run into Qihuang Mountain."

"What are we going to do? Those places are full of man-eating mountain monsters!"

The sounds of various conversations were mixed with a woman's heart-wrenching cries.

Knowing that they were looking for him, Zhang Gousheng immediately shouted, "Mother! Sister! Village Chief Grandpa!"

"Gou Sheng is here!" someone with sharp eyes shouted immediately.

Zhang Gousheng ran breathlessly, his hand trembling as he pointed to Qihuang Mountain: "Grandpa Village Chief, Mother, there are immortals in the mountains!"

Village chief Zhang Youhe frowned: "Gousheng, why did you go into the mountains? Don't you know there are man-eating monsters in there?"

Zhang Gousheng shook his head violently: "There are no monsters, but there are gods. Grandpa Village Chief, let's go and worship the gods and beg them to give us a way to live."

Bystanders sighed, “What nonsense is this child spouting? If there really are immortals on Qihuang Mountain, how come we are living such a difficult life?”

"You child, you went into the mountains without permission and didn't admit your mistake, and you even lied to your village chief grandpa." Gou Sheng's mother slapped him on the back of the head while crying.

"Mother, I'm not lying. There really are immortals. Those immortals are as high as the sky and live on Mount Qihuang. Their palaces are radiant with golden light and nine-colored glow!"

Zhang Gousheng gestured wildly and tried his best to defend himself.

Gou Sheng's mother sighed, "This child has probably lost his mind, Uncle Village Chief, please don't mind him."

Zhang Youhe was spared from being drafted into the war because he was blind. He was one of the few adult men in the surrounding villages and he helped the villagers whenever he could, earning their respect. This is why he became the village chief of Peach Blossom Village.

The village chief nodded. In this year of plenty, who wouldn't lose their mind? "Take it home. The only river down the mountain is about to dry up. I need to think of a way to ensure the villagers have access to water."

He sighed, put his hands behind his back, and staggered away.

"Grandpa Village Chief!" Zhang Gousheng tried to call out to the departing village chief.

"There really are gods! I'm not lying!"

Unfortunately, the village chief was not only blind but also hard of hearing, so he did not turn around.

Seeing that no one believed him, Zhang Gousheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. In the end, this insignificant ant was dragged away by the ear by his own mother.

Zhang Gousheng cried out in pain, "Mom, don't pull my ear! I really saw a god! Why don't you all believe me?"

There are immortals on the mountain!

There really are immortals on the mountain!
